AVK: Preserves Investor Capital And Maintains Consistent Dividends (Rating Upgrade)

Advent Convertible & Income Fund is upgraded to Buy, offering an 11.1% yield and trading at a 4.61% discount to NAV. AVK's hybrid strategy, with 48.7% in convertibles and 41% in high-yield securities, targets high income and capital preservation. Leverage remains high at 37.7%, but declining interest rates should reduce risk and improve operating spreads for AVK.

AVK: Strong Recovery Drives Total Returns

Advent Convertible and Income Fund offers exposure to convertibles and high-yield bonds, which have seen a strong recovery since our prior update. AVK maintains a high distribution yield of 11.13%, but coverage relies heavily on capital gains, making long-term sustainability challenging if markets falter.
